Technical tips to work with ruby chocolate successfully

Like a banana that changes depending on temperature and ethylene gas, ruby chocolate is also influenced by its environment.  The chocolate is sensitive to moisture, oxygen and light. So pay close attention when working with ruby chocolate to ensure the chocolate keeps its original fruity flavor and pink color.

Ruby chocolate for Confectionery

Ruby chocolate is perfect for all confectionery applications from tablets and pralines to hollow figures and countlines. To create an indulgent experience you can combine ruby chocolate with fat-based fillings, like chocolate and nut fillings, but be careful when used in combination with water-based ingredients (cream, ganaches, fruit fillings).

In terms of packaging, we recommend doing a shelflife test in the chosen packaging to make sure ruby keeps it unique color and flavor. If you are looking for packaging recommendations, we suggest using airtight (sealed) packaging and protection from light.
